Joseph "Joey" Sylvia

I had know Joey for many many years when he delivered Lays chips to the Coast Guard Academy, then I would always see him around the city of New London and not to mention the Racebook at Mohegan Sun where I worked.. Such a wonderful person through and through. Miss him dearly!

I can´t believe it has been 4years since his passing, everytime I hear the song "humble and kind" by Tim McGraw I think of Joey. Truly miss him, such a kind hearted person.. I am sure he is a handsome Angel watching over his family..Fly high Joey!!

Joey was a super nice person, I knew Joey since he delivered to the Coast Guard Academy in his Chip truck, and always saw him in New London time to time.. I just heard of the awful news of his passing. I will never forget him especially seeing his smiling face in the Racebook at Mohegan Sun. He would always refer to me as "Suzy" I will surely miss him. I am so sorry for your loss Ann and he would always speak of his son .. I wish you strength and comfort during this sad time..

I am saddened of the news of Joe I found out a week later l grew up and attended school with Joe growing up in Oakdale one of the nicest person I ever met and as the years went by when we did run into each other he would have that smile and ask about family. My wife Susan also grew up in the same neighborhood as Joe and also new him. We are both saddened we could not pay our respects to him and his family

I had know Joe for many years while we worked for the City. He was so proud of the birth of his son, and we spoke often about raising our kids.
We were both fans of the Thoroughbred, had great chat and banter, about the races.
We’re not saying good by to Joe, we’re only saying goodnight.

To Joey's family,
I graduated with Joey in 1976 and would see him around town periodically, the last time was at Herbs in uncasville. He was hysterical and yes very quick witted. God bless him on his new journey...

I remember Joey and his brother John from High School,,,,They were both popular and friendly,,,May The Good Lord bring comfort and peace to his family at this difficult time of loss. Rest in peace Joey,,

Sorry to hear of the death of your husband Ann. I met him years age at your aunt's wake and he seemed like a very nice guy.
